30332 (2026). Dr Lawrence Xu-Nan to the Associate Minister of Education: Does the Associate Minister stand by his statement that the Auditor-General is "facing some real credibility issues" in regards to the release of their inquiry into the school lunches programme; if so, what aspects of the Auditor-General's report into school lunches does he find noncredible?

Hon David Seymour: Yes. The report assessed the quality of the programme now, but not the quality of the programme I inherited.
